  2. 21. Endothelin and nitric oxide in coronary vascular regulation with special reference to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury

    Author : Qing-Dong Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : endothelium; endothelin; myocardial ischemia; myocardial infarction; reperfusion; L-arginine; nitric oxide.;

    Abstract : The vascular endothelium plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular function by producing bioactive substances such as nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-I (ET- 1). Recent evidence has revealed that endothelial dysfunction is closely related to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. READ MORE

  4. 22. Unusual vascular responses in the umbilical artery, mediated by endothelin-like receptors

    Author : Maria Laursen; Urogynekologi och reproduktionsfarmakologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; sexualitet; andrology; gynaecology; Obstetrics; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; unusual vascular responses; endothelin-like receptors; human umbilical artery; reproduktion;

    Abstract : In this present study the population of endothelin-like receptors in the human umbilical artery was examined in vitro in different parts of the umbilical cord. Immunohistochemistry revealed ETB receptors in the endothelium and an uneven distribution of ETA receptors in the smooth muscle of the arterial wall, when comparing different parts of the umbilical artery.

  5. 23. Vascular effects of endothelin in experimental lung injury

    Author : Björn P Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : acute lung injury;

    Abstract : Acute lung injury remains a frequent and life threatening consequence of severe sepsis. This thesis has investigated the role of the endothelin (ET) system in sepsis-induced lung injury, with special reference to its effects on two hallmarks of this syndrome - formation of edema and pulmonary hypertension.

  6. 24. Endothelin and the regulation of peripheral and uteroplacental vascular tone during pregnancy

    Author : Gunilla Ajne; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Endothelin; pregnancy; uteroplacental blood flow; peripheral resistance; endothelin receptors;

    Abstract : The mechanism behind the vascular adaptation during pregnancy is poorly understood. The fall in peripheral resistance, particularly in the uterine vasculature, is crucial for sufficient increase in uteroplacental blood flow and thereby for normal fetal growth and development.

  7. 25. Allergen-induced airway reactions in the pig in vivo : inflammatory mediators as targets for asthma therapy

    Author : Helena Sylvin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A pig model for studies of allergen-induced airway reactions has previously been developed. These pigs are actively sensitized to Ascaris suum and challenged with this antigen in the airways under anesthesia. READ MORE
